Before writing the advertisement to sell a classic Mercedes Benz, research advertisements created to sell similar vehicles. This helps you understand both the tone and style that are likelier to sell the car and serves as a reminder to include all basic, relevant car details, from its price to its mileage and your contact information.

Another way to advertise the sale of a classic Mercedes Benz is to reach out directly to the network of Mercedes enthusiasts. This includes Mercedes clubs and online forums as well as companies that specialize in restoring classic cars. Such speciality enthusiasts may be willing to pay handsomely to purchase the car.

Regardless of how you advertise the vehicle, be completely honest with prospective buyers. This means pointing out unflattering features, such as rust, or unflattering facts, such as the car's history of body repair work. It is better to be upfront about such facts in the beginning than to be confronted later by a potential buyer after he inspects the car and uncovers the truth.
